Video smuggled out of North Korea. Children begging, army starving
More evidence of famine within the secretive State
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/06/27/3253979.htm
Footage shot inside North Korea and obtained by the ABC has revealed the extent of chronic food shortages and malnutrition inside the secretive state.
The video is some of the most revealing footage ever smuggled out of the impoverished North Korean state.
Shot over several months by an undercover North Korean journalist, the harrowing footage shows images of filthy, homeless and orphaned children begging for food and soldiers demanding bribes.
The footage also shows North Koreans labouring on a private railway track for the dictator's son and heir near the capital Pyongyang.......... |

Not so much unexpected, but now even the soldiers are starving. Very sad for the NK people. |

| From word of mouth here in China (wife's family is all North Korean) many are struggling to find ways to get into China before the autumn harvest so they can earn money on Chinese farms. |

| Afraid? South Koreans are hardly afraid. Most of them consider the North a bunch of crackpots and just go about their day to day lives. It's more indifference, or choosing not to accept the reality that there's a crazy country with a heap of outdated (but still very deadly) weapons all pointed at them. |
